2. Unique Feature: Multi-Elemental Damage Dealing Ability
- ✅ Her normal attack is a 3-stage Hydro attack, but it transforms into 'Wollo,' which deals Dendro damage under certain conditions.
- ✅ Wollo is treated as Bloom reaction damage, allowing her to directly deal Dendro reaction damage despite being a Hydro character.
- ✅ Players are evaluating Columbina as a practical multi-elemental character.

3. Key Skill: Elemental Skill and Crystallize Reaction Linkage
- ✅ The elemental skill summons 'Laurel's Investigation,' which continuously deals Hydro damage.
- ✅ Laurel's Investigation changes depending on the reactions that occur around it, and if allies deal Lunar Ascension reaction damage, it gains 'Moon Phase,' accumulating power.
- ✅ When power is maximized, an additional effect called 'Tidal Interference' is triggered, which changes into a different attack depending on the most frequently occurring type of Lunar Ascension reaction.
- ✅ Electro-Charged: High-range Electro damage
- ✅ Bloom: Homing projectiles, Wollo's Ink release
- ✅ Lunar Crystal: High-range Geo damage
- ✅ Columbina can deal Hydro, Dendro, Electro, and Geo damage depending on the team's movements.
03:38 - 04:50
4. Elemental Burst: Lunar Ascension Reaction Damage Enhancement
- ✅ The elemental burst deploys 'Lunar Domain,' enhancing the Lunar Ascension reaction damage of the entire party.
- ✅ With a duration of 20 seconds and a cooldown of 15 seconds, it can be maintained almost permanently.
- ✅ She is a being on par with reaction support characters like Kazuha, Sucrose, Nahida, and Furina.
04:51 - 06:46
5. Unique Talents: Determining Playstyle
- ✅ When Tidal Interference is triggered, Crit Rate increases for a short time.
- ✅ Additional effects are gained depending on the type of Lunar Ascension reaction that occurs within the Elemental Burst domain.
- ✅ Electro-Charged: Increases ally attack speed
- ✅ Bloom: Free Wollo acquisition
- ✅ Crystallize: Additional attack occurs
- ✅ There is also a function to revive fallen allies once (enhanced depending on the Symbiosis level).
- ✅ If the party triggers normal Electro-Charged, Bloom, or Crystallize reactions, they are automatically converted to Lunar Ascension reactions.
- ✅ Increases the entire team's Lunar Ascension reaction damage based on maximum HP.

- ✅ C4: Restores elemental energy and increases interference damage (proportional to HP) when Tidal Interference is triggered.
